Method and Systems for Storing Data in a Storage Pool Using Memory Semantics with Applications Interacting with Emulated Block Devices

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the offload component emulates the NVMe controller and the emulated block devices.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the request was initiated by an application executing in an application container on the client application node.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the data layout is obtained from a metadata node.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the location in the storage pool is a location in a memory device.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the memory device is located on a storage node.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the storage pool comprises the memory device, a second memory device on a metadata node, and a third memory device on the client application node.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein the memory device is a persistent memory (PMEM) device.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10, wherein the offload component emulates the NVMe controller and the emulated block devices.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10, wherein the request was initiated by an application executing in an application container on the client application node.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the data layout is obtained from a metadata node.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10, wherein the location in the storage pool is a location in a memory device.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the storage pool comprises the memory device, a second memory device on a metadata node, and a third memory device on the client application node.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the memory device is located on a storage node and wherein the memory device is a persistent memory (PMEM) device.
